WAYYY better than the factory tires as well. night and day. no more hydroplaning, no more snow issues
Reliable as hell, I found one negative but it's mostly my opinion. The tires are great but I believe it can be excellent. I wanted to swap out the tires with Michelen Cross Climate 2 tires for crazy grip in rain.
Defender2 hands-down. Michelin reports an honest UTQG. Those tires will last.
Michellines are much better tires in general. I've had great experiences with them vs. Goodyear and Firestone.
Michelins are cheaper to run because overall they last longer both in mileage and cracking. $ per mile much cheaper.
I went with the Michelin Defender 2 on my last set, and now I totally get why they’re so popular. The ride is super quiet and smooth—even on rough pavement—and they’ve been wearing incredibly well. I’m already past 40,000 miles with plenty of tread left, so I believe the 80,000-mile warranty is legit. Wet traction has been solid too, and I feel confident driving in all kinds of weather.
I am currently running a set of Giti Dexteros on a 1997 Olds Regency. I have about 15000 miles on them and rotate every 5k. They ride great and tire wear is normal at this point. I would recommend them!
3rd set of Defenders on mine. Such a quiet and great handling all season tire.
They make a Michelin defender that lasts a lot of miles but I didn’t dig the road noise
The first set survived 18k miles. I thought it was alignment issue so replaced with another set of OEM tires.
The second one lasts only 16k miles…
